Hello world!

Hello world indeed.  This is our first blog post and we’re slightly nervous to be honest.  It’s a whole new social media world out there, where unwary brands and other corporate entities can set themselves up as easy targets for sniping consumers.  Good thing we’re the good guys and have nothing to hide then really.

Hamilton Brady is a financial claims management company specialising in reclaiming mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance.  PPI is one of the great financial scandals of our times, variously described as the second biggest legal rip-off after endowment mortgages (by the Guardian, 4th July 2009), and ‘legalised robbery’ (by just about anyone who knows anything about it).

We could go on for hours about the dozens of ways in which PPI can be mis-sold, about the billions of ££ they generate in profit for the banks and the lenders (including RBS, Lloyds TSB and Northern Rock – that you, dear taxpayer, part own), about the nurses, police and firemen/women that should never have been sold PPI. 

But we won’t.  Not right now anyway.  It does annoy us no end though, and you can be sure we’ll be waxing lyrical on the subject in the months and years to come. 

In a nutshell, millions of consumers are owed compensation worth £000’s.  Could this be you?  If you have a loan, credit card or mortgage then chances are “a big fat YES”.    Watch this space.
